tabs: mktabs, tabsctl - tabbed notebook pseudo-widget
SYNOPSIS
include "tabs.m";
tabs := load Tabs Tabs->PATH;
init: fn();
mktabs: fn(p: ref Tk->Toplevel, book: string,
tabs: array of (string, string), dflt: int):
chan of string;
tabsctl: fn(p: ref Tk->Toplevel, book: string,
tabs: array of (string, string), curid: int,
newid: string): int;
DESCRIPTION
Tabs implements a Tk extension: a user-interface device that looks like
a tabbed notebook.
Init should be called once to initialise the internal state.
Mktabs creates a tabbed notebook pseudo widget, book, for insertion
into Tk widget p. Once created, book can be packed like any other Tk
widget. Information for specific tab pages is contained in the tabs
array. For each page, tabs contains the name displayed in the tab and
a Tk widget name. Whenever a page is selected, its widget is packed in
book and displayed. The notebook will initially display the page
indexed by dflt. Mktabs returns a Tk event channel. Messages received
on this channel should be passed as the newid argument to tabsctl.
Tabsctl controls a tabbed notebook. Curid is the index of the page
currently selected in the notebook. Newid is a string containing the
index of the new page to be displayed; this is usually the information
received on the tabs channel. The index of the newly selected page is
returned.
